[csw-maintainers] Dependencies on SUNW packages (was: newpkgs libslp1, openslp_devel)

Makes sense.  I guess not having them in the catalog or handled by
pkgutil isn't a big deal anyway as the underlying pkgadd will still
note the requirement (if it's missing) for any package that does
declare the dependency.

Overally, this isn't a good idea anyway.

Thanks
